“Imagination as a Site of Struggle” brings together PhD researchers from different practice fields to explore practice-based research writing, departing from the conviction that raising awareness alone will not shift us and that facts alone will not change us. The workshop includes short presentations by PhD researchers on ways of writing that help us take the personal seriously and connect it to public commitments. The presentations stress how asking this of our readers, our writing, too, needs to go to vulnerable spaces—weaving together creative modes of critical knowledge production and engagement “to look at what’s plaguing us, using all the tools at our disposal,” as Ruha Benjamin points out.

The workshop includes contributions by • Anna Engelhardt/Mark Cinkevich, • George Simms/Mariana Marangoni, • Túlio Rosa• Clareese Hill/Elly Clarke, • Mariana Tilly, • Katarzyna Łukasik, • Mayte Gómez Molina, • Mona Hedayati, • Jessica Rowley, • Yann Patrick Martins, • Gabriela Aquije/Lilo Viehweg/Guillemette Legrand, • Emil Woudenberg

Hosted by Helen V. Pritchard, Shaka McGlotten, Ines Kleesattel, and Lucie Kolb.
